§ Mr. Georgeasked the Secretary of State for Defence what evidence he has of recent Russian aircraft reconnaissance flights over the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. WellbelovedAs my predecessor made clear in his Written Answer to the hon. Member for Hastings (Mr. Warren) on 29th March 1976—[Vol. 908, c.382]—and again in his speech in the defence debate on 1st April 1976—[Vol. 908, c. 1602]—there have been no such flights. Any speculation to the contrary is totally unfounded.
